SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the ``Agency'') is 
proposing full approval of revisions to the South Dakota operating 
permit program for stationary sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA), 
title V (the ``title V program'') and a Clean Air Act (CAA) section 
111(d)/129 negative declaration for incinerators subject to the 
Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (HMIWI) Emissions 
Guidelines. EPA is proposing this action in accordance with the CAA.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before June 17, 2022.

comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or removed from

docket. Do not submit electronically any information you consider to be 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose 
disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia submissions (audio, 
video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written comment. The written 
comment is considered the official comment and should include 
discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will generally not 
consider comments or comment contents located outside of the primary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and 
``our'' means EPA. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, 
EPA is approving South Dakota's submissions and making administrative 
updates as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and anticipates no 
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the action is set forth in 
the preamble to the direct final rule. If EPA receives no adverse 
comments, EPA contemplates no further action. If EPA receives adverse 
comments, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and will address all 
public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. 
EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any 
parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. Please note 
that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or 
section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the 
remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the 
rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For additional 
information, see the direct final rule of the same title which is 
located in the Final Rules section of this Federal Register.
